Little light, lead us through the night
And if we die, burn down the forest
Chariots, carry us
Distances we don't care to walk
I'm on my way out
Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay their heads down at night
What are they haunted by?
Why won't anyone just close their eyes?
Could it hurt them to rest for a while?
Do they need their friends to be a lover?
Or a lover to be a friend?
Because I'm on my way out
(Well, I've tried, God knows that I've tried)
I'm on my way out
(One time, two times, three times again)
Sitting duck, running out of luck
And our car stuck on the train crossing
How am I ever gonna know peace?
How will I ever see the light through the trees?
I want to burn down everything we've begun
I want to kill and eat my young
Because I'm on my way out
(Well, I've tried, God knows that I've tried)
I'm on my way out
(One time, two times, three times again)
I'm on my way out
"Oft-times cloudy is the way,
But today then beckons me
Oft my wandering heart is lured
On some by-path far from thee
Father, when my footsteps stray
Guide me back into thy way
Oh, let it be, let me be
On life's highway, God with thee."
